The College Football Playoff has approved an expanded format starting in the 2024 season, which will include five conference champions and seven at-large bids. The number of conference champions was reduced from six to five due to realignment and the disintegration of the Pac-12. The highest-ranking conference champions will secure the five slots, ensuring representation from outside the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, and SEC. The CFP selection committee will determine the seven at-large bids, with no limit on teams from one conference. The top four conference champions will receive first-round byes, and the quarterfinals, semifinals, and national championship will be played at neutral sites.
